Yonder Star

Built in the 80s, YONDER STAR was designed by renowned naval architect Don Brooke, whose eye for generous proportions combined with the yacht’s high quality finish created a gracious residence at sea.

YONDER STAR was completely rebuilt in 1999 and fully refurbished in 2003 and again in 2018. Her spacious teak decks with comfortable cockpit seating invite relaxation and meals alfresco.

Based in Auckland, New Zealand from December through to April, YONDER START moves to Fiji from May through to October/November and could relocate to Tonga if preferred.

In 2021, the 36th America’s Cup is scheduled to be contested on the scenic Hauraki Gulf, Auckland. Cruising in the immediate vicinity of the racing area is world class and includes Waiheke, renowned for its picturesque landscape, vineyards and tranquil beaches, Coromandel Peninsula, Cathedral Cove, Great Barrier Island, which is an internationally recognised night sky reserve, and many more incredible locations to explore.
